Yes they have technically he’s very good we’ve always known thAt but at times he can go missing in games the style we play suited him alsoWhilst ultimately I'd have to agree that Shipley gave us more when it mattered, I think it's a shame that he's moved on, though I'm sure Robins and his team would have taken all considerations into account. At 24, there's still room for development, and I think Rovers have got a good player.
Shipley is definitely the better player.
However, paradoxically I think that controlling for all other factors, Westbrooke would end up commanding a higher fee. Shipley is an excellent player but part of the 'homegrowness' of his development has meant that he is a bit of an unknown quantity to football league sides. Westbrooke on the other hand, has been around Chelsea at youth level and captained Brentford B team. I think there's something about the nature of his play that means he would be more attractive to the average football league club.
Essentially what I'm saying is that Shipley is the better player. But they have slightly different playing styles. Shipley works harder, is more effective at tracking back etc. But clubs don't seem to value that as much as someone who is perceived as dynamic going forward (Westbrooke).
We have no sell on with JCH from what I've heard.
The optional year was locked at the fee for the previous years tho I thought ?I doubt there was a fee involved for Zain
There was a fallout with the management for some reason, possibly his agent overplaying his hand in negotiations
In a clash with Robins and his assistants there will only ever be one winner
Not sure about anyone coming in yet but it doesn't take a genius to see that we are a pretty good place for Premier League clubs to send their top young prospects to learn men's football
Excuse me what?Wrong? You sent me a mans personal information after I said I didn't care

Free transfer with a big sell on fee is the like JCH is what they think on The Gas Forum
If it’s free I’ll be fuming.... especially when we had bigger clubs sniffing round him in Jan. We won the league for fucks sake, our players are worth a fee, can’t keep giving Bristol all our players for free and good ones too. JCH has been doing bits there and the max we will ever see out of that will be about $100k if he gets a transfer

I have it on good authority (a member of the coaching staff) from a top PL club that JS is very highly thought of. Definitely not an unknown quantity. Apparently JS just doesn’t want to leave us (not at the moment anyway).

There was never any interest - the fee quoted in these reports was £2m and now he’s going for a minimal fee to a club who finished 14th in League 1. It was all designed to boost his profile and get people speaking about him, some of our fans can’t believe we’re letting a player Leeds wanted go for little and Rovers fans think they’re getting a player who top Championship sides wanted. It’s all a little unfair on Westbrooke if it wasn’t his doing as there’s unrealistic expectations around him
Yemen, I mean, maybe clubs just don’t want Dubai in this market.I think he must have played a part in it , especially if this twitter comment had anything to do with a motion made with the club. I can't see MR just singling him out and saying 'your surplus to requirement' otherwise I think we'd have seen a few others go and the desire to make some money from him. I truthfully don't rate him as like a 'TOP PLAYER' but I think he would have commended a nominal fee to a league one team and was a decent player so for him to go on a free seems rather bazaar to me! I can understand JCH at the time going as it was freeing up wages for an under performing player who put out lackluster performances for us but Zaine did make an impact.
I'm hoping the rumors surrounding him going for free with no clause aren't true, I'd rather him go for pocket change now than a clause as I truly don't think he'll be getting a signing up from a championship club soon if the clubs mentioned above were interested prior and didn't want to go with a guy playing for a successful team in league one. Whilst I don't hate Bristol Rovers and JCH has been good for them I can't really say I'm expecting them to be top table in League One next season.

Yeah because he isnt one of our own however Shipley is and if he has not got a contract then he has to realise it is not anyone elses fault its his the idiotIf he's being shitty on twitter about a fellow player getting a new contract then he can fuck off right now
I thought it was ZweatbrookeMaybe he’s only just noticed that Benno calls him Zainbrooke, whether he’s pissed or not? Fuming!
The optional year was locked at the fee for the previous years tho I thought ?
I heard it was personal problems regarding his Girlfriend who was also pregnant etc
Quote thatI said I didn't want you send me personal details about a person, you still did.
He is defiantly going for a minimal fee no idea if there is a clauseI think he must have played a part in it , especially if this twitter comment had anything to do with a motion made with the club.

The whowthing was mainly he made robins no longer trust him - a series of events resulting in robins doing robins
If he does as well as Lameiras is doing, he'll be doing well!I thought he was a good footballer. Reminded me a bit of Lameires in that he had a decent brain and could always pick a pass but needed some steel behind him.
It's a shame he's going but he'll want game time and its probably not something he'll be guaranteed in the championship.
